2. Constantly challenge your worldview
3. Regular personal reflection & meta-cognition
4. Increase, both your practical and theoretical knowledge
5. Create a network of contacts for yourself

These are the components of the ‘unique’ Learning Environment that
AIESEC should have.

What makes a learning organization different from other organizations is how
unique & different it’s learning environment is.
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005
All these 6 components need to become the core of AIESEC activity in each of our LCs, all around the
AIESEC network.
This gives a framework to LC activities for @XP implementation.

In the current context of AIESEC, these 3
components are already present in most of our
LCs. But they need to go through a little bit of a
transformation.

And these 3 components are largely missing or
inconsequential in their scope, in the LCs across
the network and need to come into the
mainstream of AIESEC.

Understanding Individual Discovery and Reflection

Individual Discovery and Reflection This diagram shows the formal steps that an
individual takes through the AIESEC
Experience. It has been carefully designed as
a self-driven structured learning experience.
All members go through a formal
introduction to the organization and then
begin to take on responsibility in an area of
their interest.
They then have the option to take on
leadership positions, work abroad through
our internship program, or both.
The final step is to head for the future – to
take the skills, inspiration, and networks
from AIESEC to have a positive impact in
society.

Individual Study and Reflection “Even if we know little about what goes on in the
human brain, we do know some of the mental
processes involved in learning.
It is human nature that people do not want to be
spoon-fed conclusions made by others. They want to be
provided with the relevant information and the
opportunity to build their own big-picture
understanding, in order to draw these conclusions
themselves.
People do this through exploration, interaction and
dialogue.
Celemi applies the "learning spiral" – a basic framework
for a solution's flow. This ensures that participants will
reach their "Aha!" moments that will lead them to
appropriate conclusions and actions.”

Individual Study and Reflection
Why personal
development is
so cool?
“Our lives are spent in
understanding ourselves”

Individual Study and Reflection Some key @XP principles are the basis
of Individual Study & Reflection.
1. Take an active role in your learning and the learning of others
2. Constantly challenge your worldview
3. Regular personal reflection & meta-cognition
4. Increase, both your practical and theoretical knowledge

The Team aspect of our Learning
Environment has a two objectives.
– To add value to AIESEC in
expanding our organizational
capacity and results.
– To provide team members an
opportunity to apply their
learning & gain some desired
experiences, skills, networks and
practical knowledge in their area
of interest.
Team Experiences

Teams are the basis of our current
organizational structure (X-teams, project
teams, EBs, MCs etc.). Essentially, from the
first to the last step of an individuals
experience in AIESEC is taken within a
team. Teams also bring to light the critical
aspect of ‘learning by doing’.
Our teams need to be the hub of enterprise
in the organization, where we move away from the current rigidity of structures and
create space for innovation and activity on
the basis of an individual interest.

Learning Circles
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005
Learning Circles
AIESEC Learning Circles are local learning communities. They are formed by local and international AIESECers who share a common interest in gaining experience, knowledge and networks in a common sector or topic. Eg. Human Rights
The Learning Circles are not static
or formal structures. They re-arrange themselves around the
content that is being experienced, discussed and the other individuals participating. Learning Circles can
have different focuses- they can be groups of mixed experience, or
they may be “generations” of members from a similar level.
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005
Learning Circles
People may be part of more than one and attendance is based on interest.
Longer-term structures can be established based on interest and
commitment, e.g. a weekly casual meeting around a LN topic.
This process can be facilitated by a more experienced member – especially for a Learning Circle of a generation of
“Introduction” Stage AIESECers. More experienced groups may require only
rotating or shared facilitation.

Learning Circles AIESEC Learning Circles are “Peer to
Peer” learning environments, which build on 2 key AIESEC XP principles.
Take an active role in your learning & the learning of others – each of us has something to teach & something to learn. We take responsibility for each others development.
Constantly challenge your world view – challenging our assumptions & understanding.

How can exploration of ideas around topics of interest in ‘learning circles’ lead to ‘team experiences’ and contribute to organizational activity & performance?

Conferences and Seminars
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005 Conferences and Seminars
AIESEC holds over 350 national &
international conferences every year! These conferences currently serve as a
major organizational activity support. At
many of these conferences, and in many local events, AIESEC invites speakers to
challenge us with their understanding and
perspective.
This expertise, whether from alumni,
partners or members themselves, provide
great opportunities for our membership
to gain high quality information and to
engage our stakeholders in our learning
environment.
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005 Conferences and Seminars
We also need to reach out & create extensive opportunities for our membership to participate in external conferences & seminars organized by partner or other organizations.
This would go a long way in broadening the perspective of our membership & would allow them to look at things, which are currently outside the realms of AIESEC’s operations.

The Conferences & Seminars build on the @XP principles of –
Increase, both your practical and theoretical knowledge
Create a network of contacts for yourself
All AIESEC conferences & seminars have the 5 @XP principles as the basis of their learning environment.

Mentoring
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005 Mentoring
Our lives are spent in understanding ourselves! Mentorship is most important in this process.
The key to the process is to remove the individual from his/her comfort zone enough to help them gain objectivity over themselves but not to scare the individual off. Often a team manager is not in the position, or capable of this type of leadership and an external mentor must be sought.
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005
All AIESEC members should be educated on the principles of effective mentoring.
Mentoring pairs may form between members of varying experience, with Alumni and Partners.
Whether they are the more experienced “mentor” or the “actor”, AIESEC should always help shape the content and process of mentoring.

Mentoring Mentoring, just like Learning Circles, creates
a “Peer to Peer” learning environment,
which builds on 2 key AIESEC XP principles.
Take an active role in your learning & the
learning of others – each of us has
something to teach & something to learn. We take responsibility for each others
development.
Constantly challenge your world view –
challenging our assumptions &
understanding.

Mentoring One of the most challenging
and rewarding experiences in AIESEC is being responsible to
support the development of another individual. You must
take this responsibility seriously and treasure it. Investment in
and the development of excellent people is fundamental
to the success of our organisation and the future of
our world.

Virtual Spaces

Virtual Spaces The different elements –
1. AIESEC.net Communities – Information Sharing – AIESEC.net Library – Resource Sharing
– AIESEC.net Forums – Virtual Discussion & Perspective Sharing
2. Blogs – Personal reflection & experience sharing
3. AIESEC.net & AIESEConnect – Building & keeping networks (to be available in the near future)
4. Other opportunities & information available on the World Wide Web
Implementing AIESEC XP | Our Learning Environment | © AIESEC International 2005
Our virtual spaces also play the key role of tying together the entire
learning environment.
